01 / Plantation & Harvest

Selected at 4–5 years. Not a day younger.

We harvest only when culm wall density reaches structural grade — typically 4 to 5 years of growth. Every pole is hand-selected by crew leaders who have worked the same plantation for over a decade. Mud-caked and heavy, they arrive at the processing hall within 6 hours of cutting.

Plantation area: 3,200 ha · Harvest cycle: rolling 5-year rotation · Avg culm height: 14–18 m

02 / Splitting & Strip Selection

The first cut reveals everything.

Poles are split longitudinally into strips within 12 hours of harvest to prevent checking. Each strip passes a density-and-straightness gauge. Outer skin and inner pith are discarded — only the middle third of the wall makes the grade. Rejection rate runs 22% by volume.

03 / Boiling & Carbonization

Boron bath. Three hours. Zero compromise.

Strips spend 3 hours in a boric-acid solution at 95°C — eliminating starch content that attracts insects and mold. Carbonized product batches undergo an additional dry-heat stage at 180°C for 4 hours, creating the uniform caramel tone without chemical staining. pH and concentration are logged per batch.

04 / Lamination & Pressing

1,200 psi. E0 adhesive. Measured twice.

Dried strips are coated with E0-rated formaldehyde-free adhesive and pressed at 1,200 psi for 90 minutes. Each press cycle is temperature-logged. Strand-woven product uses a different geometry — strips are randomly oriented under 3,000 psi for 2 hours, producing the hardest bamboo composite we make.

05 / Moisture Testing & Grading

Below 12% before it leaves the floor.

Every board is tested with a calibrated pin-type moisture meter after kiln conditioning. Boards reading above 12% go back. Grade A product averages 9–10% MC, suitable for interior structural and furniture applications in any climate. Grade B (10–12%) is appropriate for exterior structural use. All readings are recorded and included with your shipment documentation.

Grade A: 9–10% MC · Grade B: 10–12% MC · 100% tested · Readings included in COA
